you seem confused.
Im not confused but I think you might be. You just no excepting that Nigel did play about a year and a bit at CHF under Cornes.

Did you even look at his 1993 stats which quite clearly show the time he got moved forward.

I watched my 1993 highlights tape last night and this was the quote from MCdermott

"The time came to move Nigel to Centre Half Forward. He was Tremendous as he is so athletic. Can out run out mark so many and he kicks the ball so well from distatnce that he was tremendous for us and proved to be for the rest of the season"

And the quote from Andrew Jarman

"Hes a magnificant man. Hes wants to go to france and live. But thats Nigel he'll just pack a bag of clothes and you will never see him again. He was relaxed and thought Centre Half forward whats all the fuss about its just a position and he was tremedous and some of the games he turned around for us with Modra proved to be a very potemt forward line"

How much more prove do you want.

OH MY GOD

For starters I am going back to 1993 here.

Wigney played as a Forward pocket to Modra

Jim West never played a game for Adelaide.

Standfield was Forward pocket to Modra in the first part of 1997 and Jason Mcartney was 1994 and yes he allowed us to move Smart to the back line.

But in 1993 Smart made the All Australian side on the bench because of his matches at CHF.

Oh and on my 1993 tape when Smart kicked 4 in the Final against HAwthorn Gerard Healy made this comment

"He has become one of the best centre half forwards in the AFL"

I think you must have only been 3 or 4 back then which would make you about 20 now.

Well I am 30 and was 14 in 1993 and have all the videos from that era.

Wigney was good in 93 in burts, Standfield similaryl in 97 for bursts.

McArtney was a CHB in his good games and of course West never played a game for the AFC.

Mickan :eek: Klug and Robran played most games at CHF for the Crows back in the old days.
